Good to hear. Substandard care in a hospital based on any group could result in death. It was not that long ago that people could die because they were unable to get to a hospital that would accept a black patient for example.

My employer has an EEO policy covering covering all that and more: veteran status, disability .... we have company sponsored employee groups including for women, east asian, gay, black, hispanic, several Christian groups, Islamic, disabled employee groups, veterans and yes .... a cycling group

Rated No. 2 in the Top 50 Companies for Diversity, Top Honor for Outstanding Support of Women- and Minority-Owned Businesses, consistently on HRC's top list for inclusion and diversity, one of if not the first telco with domestic partner bennies.

We are covered every year twice a year on the EEO policy and three times if someone really blows it . That discussion tends to head off most issues and also makes it a great place to work.

But a small company could do this too.
